New Earbud Models Introduced
Shokz has launched two new earbud models: the OpenFit Air 2 and the OpenRun Air 2. Both models are updates to previous versions and feature reduced weight and design improvements.
OpenFit Air 2 Features
The OpenFit Air 2 earbuds are approximately 17 percent lighter than the original model, weighing 7.2g per unit. They utilize an open-ear design to prevent ear canal pressure and allow users to hear their surroundings. Audio enhancements include the proprietary Bassphere audio driver and OpenBass 2.0 algorithm, along with an angled speaker for sound direction. The earbuds offer eight hours of battery life, extending to 36 hours with the charging case, and support Bluetooth 6.1 with multipoint connections. They will be available on August 27 for $130.
OpenRun Air 2 Details
The OpenRun Air 2 earbuds feature a design that wraps around the back of the head, prioritizing stability for activities like running. These earbuds are also lighter than their previous iteration and use a bone conduction driver. They provide ten hours of battery life on a single charge and include a quick charge feature for two hours of playback in five minutes. Like the OpenFit Air 2, they will be released on August 27 and priced at $130.
Shared Functionality
Both new earbud models connect to a companion app, which allows users to access four preset EQ modes and create two custom EQ profiles for personalized sound. The open-ear design of the OpenFit Air 2, while offering comfort and situational awareness, may interfere with glasses or certain hats due to its ear-hook form factor.
